Services can provide temporary respite in the senior's home or give the senior a safe care environment and/or give caregivers: a temporary break from the 24hr caregiver role; ability to retain a job; avoid the need for permanent placement in assisted living or a nursing home. Depending on the level of assistance needed, services could include short term respite in a nursing home or care facility; or temporary or ongoing; adult daycare, in-home assistance, care facility. Payment may include self pay, insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Some grant funding may be available through Albany County Department for Aging or through other sources. In New York State, adult day services come in two forms: a medical model called adult day health care (ADHC) and a social model called social adult day care. Adult day services programs offer a safe, secure, stimulating environment for people whose family circumstances allow them to remain in their homes in the evenings (and possibly on weekends), but who need some sort of supervision during the daytime. Adult day services are particularly appropriate for a person whose needs are ordinarily met by their own family members, especially when those family members may work outside the home during the day but are generally at home in the evenings and on weekends. Social adult day care is oriented toward the social aspects of life and may include games, memory orientation exercises, music, dancing and reading in a supervised atmosphere. These programs also provide a meal, may provide some assistance with personal care (such as grooming) and engage their clients in supervised field trips and special events. Adult day health care (ADHC) has a strong medical component. ADHC programs are staffed by a number of professionals including a registered professional nurse able to conduct assessments, administer medicine and perform medical tasks. Adult day health care programs must be sponsored by a nursing home or a hospital and provide social activities in addition to medical services. They are required to provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy to individuals who require these services. In addition, they provide a full range of personal care services (bathing, grooming, and toileting), social services, case management and at least one meal per visit. ADHC programs must provide or arrange transportation to the program. Adult day health care programs are overseen by the New York state Department of Health. Social day care programs are overseen by the New York state Office for the Aging (SOFA).
